Cavill is too buff and young. If we go for someone like that, Robert Pattinson could do it.

Gotta be a 50 year old spy like man. More gaunt than normal. Fassbender would definitely be good.

Cavill is older than you think. He is currently 38 and will be more like 40-41 by the time the next Bond move films most likely. Here are the ages of previous Bond actors when their first and last Bond movies filmed:

  • Barry Nelson: 37
  • David Niven: 56
  • Sean Connery: 31 first movie, 52 last movie
  • George Lazenby: 29
  • Roger Moore: 46 first movie, 56 last movie
  • Timothy Dalton: 40 first movie, 42 last movie
  • Pierce Brosnan: 41 first movie, 48 last movie
  • Daniel Craig: 37 first movie, 51 last movie

So, Cavill being about 40-41 when the next movie films is definitely not too young, Connery and Craig both started younger than 40 out of the multi-movie Bond actors, while Dalton and Pierce started at about 40-41.

Too young, the other bonds were too young too. Although I am not sure how old James Bond is supposed to be.

Too buff anyways. I think a skinnier Bond is fine like Daniel Craig.
